you have followed the correct starting
procedure given in “How to start the
engine” on page 228 in Section 3 and that
you have sufficient fuel. Also check
whether the other keys will start the

broken. Have the key checked at your
Toyota dealer. If none of your keys work,
the system is possibly broken. Call your
Toyota dealer. (See “Keys” on page 8 in

If the engine is not turning over or is
turning over too slowly—
1. Check that the battery terminals are
tight and clean.

on the interior light.

when the starter is cranked, the battery
is discharged. You may try jump start-
ing. See “(c) Jump starting” for further
instructions.
